About This Home
Welcome to a truly rare private estate offering over 42 acres of thoughtfully developed land, refined living spaces, and unmatched natural beauty. From the moment you enter the fence-lined, paved driveway—framed by rolling pastures and a serene pond—you’re immersed in a setting designed for both luxury and connection to the land. The residence features over 5,400 square feet with six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms, including two expansive primary suites—one on the main level and one on the lower level with private exterior access—offering exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodations, or private retreats. The home has been extensively updated with a gourmet kitchen, refreshed finishes, and numerous major system and appliance upgrades throughout. The lower level is designed for entertaining and relaxation, featuring a 500+ bottle wine room, custom wet bar, and beautifully finished living space with elevated design details. Step outside to experience the true distinction of this property. Newly fenced pastures stretch across gently rolling terrain, complemented by a harmonious blend of open fields and mature woods. Equestrian and agricultural infrastructure is already in place, including a brand new two-stall horse barn with tack room and electric, multiple run-in shelters, a large chicken coop, and an expansive 48x48 pole barn—offering immediate functionality for a variety of uses. The land itself is equally remarkable, with multiple streams, a private pond, and miles of established wooded trails and bridle paths. The property supports a thriving natural ecosystem, attracting abundant wildlife and enhanced by active pollination from on-site bee boxes. A fenced garden area further adds to the property’s self-sustaining potential. With complete privacy and no visible neighboring homes, this estate offers a rare combination of seclusion and usability—ideal for an equestrian lifestyle, homestead vision, corporate or wellness retreat, or simply a refined sanctuary away from it all. A true turnkey offering where lifestyle, land, and luxury converge.
